Not interested, says Qatar

There has been much media
speculation in recent days linking Qatar Airways with airlines in India, for
which Qatar Airways would like to put the record straight, a spokesman told AerospaceDiary.

Qatar Airways’ Statement:

Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker said: “Qatar Airways
categorically denies it is interested in investing in Spicejet or any other
Indian airline.This is pure speculation by individuals who deliberately
want to spread such unfounded rumours to raise the stock value of their
entities.

“India is a huge market and a potentially lucrative one. While we have
expressed interest in expanding our presence in India, we will only be
interested in any potential investment once we are sure regulations and laws
are properly liberalised. I can confirm we are currently not talking to
any Indian airline.”
